Roasted Green Beans

I made these for dinner last night and can tell you they are awesome! I am wondering why I never cooked them this way before because I truly have been missing one of summer’s delights. The green bean flavor is so intense that I may never put a green bean in water again. Okay so yes I will. Seriously you need to try this!

We really enjoyed these green beans for dinner last night. When buying green beans looks for ones that are slender and free of bruises. I love using the ones that are already prepped in the bags that you can find now in the grocery store. They seem to be way fresher to me than the loose ones sometimes. They should have a snap to them. If they are rubbery don’t buy them, they are past their peak. Be sure too when you snap off the end that if there is a tough string that you remove it too! I only snap the end it grew from and leave the little tail, it doesn’t hurt a thing. Store green beans in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
